Hi,

Telling them bank one should answer their question. LOL. Okay, if you are sitting in the vehicle, it is on the right side of the engine. It's located on the rear of the engine. (See pic 1 below)

If you are standing at the front of the vehicle, it is on the left.

In most cases, they determine left and right based on sitting in the vehicle, but you better ask them that as well.

Good luck. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

Take care,

Joe
